Lincoln City Oregon Crabbing

If you would like to do some crabbing you will want to check out The Siletz Bay and Siletz River at the south end of Lincoln City Oregon which are prime spots. Crabbing is available all year long and commercially from the Ocean only during the winter.

All you need is a crab ring, net, license, bait, and a measuring gauge. Many places will rent you the equipment you need to get started. You can get a license for crabbing and clamming at Bi-Mart, local sporting goods stores and many local shops.

What’s fun about crabbing is that you can do it from a public dock, the shore or even from a boat.

Dungeness crabs are a real treat and you will also want to find someone who is willing to clean and cook them. Places that have the equipment you need will have the information and other services available to make your crabbing experience a successful one.


Lincoln City Oregon Clamming

Clamming for Razor and Butter Clams is another activity that is simple and fun as well.

Equipment can be as simple as a shovel, or a clam tube and a bucket. You will need a license as well.

Clamming takes a little bit of practice, patience and know-how. Sporting goods stores and many local shops that sell the license can also tell you some of the best places to dig for clams. Make sure you get a good recipe before you go so you can really enjoy your success!
